Life, Family, and Home - Simplified & Sweetened
I can eat a good sandwich any day! It’s fast, affordable, convenient, inexpensive, and delicious! With the kids out of school for summer, I know I’ll be making even more sandwiches, so I’ll be stocking up on great product’s like Hellman’s Mayonnaise. Hellman’s is now offering a new squeeze bottles, which make it even easier for you to make your favorite sandwiches. Not only does can you squeeze it out faster, but you can squeeze MORE out!

The other day we had a Mother’s Day get together. I had all sorts of plans to bring a couple of dishes and a dessert, but I had a busy week and then I was sick the day before the event. It became impossible for me to bring everything I want to bring, but I still didn’t want to come empty-handed. Enter Betty Crocker Suddenly Pasta Salad!
These make for such a delicious side dish, and they are ideal for a number of occasions, including summer luncheons, picnics, and backyard barbecues. They also come in a number of great varieties: [Read more…]

Still eating leftover jelly beans from Easter? Or are you more like me and you like to buy jelly beans year round? Either way, you’ll love today’s fun recipe. Over the weekend I made some delicious Lemon Muddy Buddies Mix. I love muddy buddies, and I’ve been wanting to try the lemon flavor a while…believe me, it didn’t disappoint! When I make muddies, I always like to have at least one “add in.” The add-in not only mixes things up in terms of flavor but it also adds a lot to the overall color and presentation of the mixture. To liven up these lemon muddies, I added some Brach’s Jelly Beans.
The jelly beans went perfectly with this lemon, and I’d imagine it would be great with other fruit flavored and even plain vanilla muddies. So break out your left over Easter jelly beans or go out and buy a new bag, and give it a try!

Someone always seems to be hungry at our house, and HOT POCKETS® are definitely one of our go-to snacks! They are delicious, hearty, and made with high quality ingredients we love. I’ve always been a fan of the Hickory Ham & Cheddar, while our son prefers the pizza varieties. On a recent grocery shopping a trip, I found one of our favorite snacks in a new form! HOT POCKETS® Breakfast Bites and Snack Bites are a new bite sized take on your classic favorite after school and mid night snack!
They pack that same punch of flavor as traditional Hot Pockets, except they come in a fun, new size that makes serving even easier. (No forks needed!) [Read more…]

This week our television seems to be fixed on basketball! At our house, it can be very hard to pry people away from the television or the computer to eat a meal, and if a ball game is on, you can just forget about it! For this reason, I always like to have plenty of appetizers and snacks, I can whip up at a moment’s notice. This way I can skip the cooking, and they can enjoy the game! A couple of days ago, I made some Delimex. [Read more…]
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Manwich. All opinions are 100% mine.
At my house we often plan our meals around work and school activities. A long day of work, followed by late pick up from school due to band practice or other after school activities means I need a quick dinner option.
One of my “go-to” meals for days like this is sloppy joes made with Manwich. Manwich is a great meal time option, because the whole family loves it. (Believe me, it wouldn’t be a regular go-to meal if it didn’t have my stepson’s seal of approval!)
It also comes in three great varieties: Manwich Original, Manwich Bold and Manwich Thick & Chunky.
My favorite variety is Manwich Bold. It’s great for my favorite Manwich Melts. (Just add your favorite cheese and sandwich toppings. I like mine with mayo and dill pickles!)
Another thing I like to make with Manwich sauce is meatloaf and mini meatloaf cups.
National Sloppy Joe Day is coming up March 18. You can celebrate the occasion by serving up some yummy Manwich sandwiches, or make something else with Manwich’s yummy sloppy joe sauce!
The Manwich website is also filled with Manwich Mondays Recipes and other great ideas for how you can think outside the bun and use Manwich sauce to make great weeknight meals for your family. You can also subscribe to the ReadySetEat enewsletter for great ideas in your inbox!
Yesterday we had a lovely afternoon: a sunny sky and temperatures in the upper 60s. I’m definitely looking forward to more days like this! It gives my husband and I the chance to just sit on the front porch or the backyard deck and watch the world go by! Of course, this scene would not be complete without a cool, refreshing drink in our hands! Just last week I picked up some Simply Juice Drinks for this very purpose. [Read more…]

With all the cold weather we’ve been having, I am SO ready for spring! The warmer weather gives us an excuse to get out of the house and it brings so many opportunities to entertain. Last weekend I jump started the season with a small family get together, and today I’m sharing just a few of my ideas and Easter party solutions. I hope it gives you a little inspiration.
When it comes to parties, the most important thing is the food! Last weekend I used a variety of products from DiGiorno and Nestlé. [Read more…]
